Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 15

I had really high hopes for these. I previously had the ghost 13 and absolutely LOVED them. When I saw the new color scheme for the 15's I knew it was time to replace my well loved 13's. What I loved about my old ones is that they were wide enough w/o looking really boxy. The 15's are not wide at all! they are comfortable but if I'm walking around all day it's actually a relief to take them off. I wanted to love these but I just can't.

I bought them for the Irish design, and they were also recommended to me by my podiatrist. However, they don't fit well with my orthotics, but I don't have a lot of pain when I walk with them without the orthotics. Just wish they were a little bit wider. Taking a little bit of time to break in I'm getting a few blisters

I like the 14 a lot better the 15 is not as good quality. Also the 14 has better cushion in the heel.

I ordered a pair and one shoe felt smaller than the other. I sent them back and re-ordered and same issue with new order. I haven't worn them for running, but I did wear them for walking. My feet felt tired after a long walk day wearing these. Usually I never have to break in a Ghost shoe, and they're good to go straight from the box, but not this model. I'm having some reservations about this shoe. I've been wearing Ghost since 2013. This version feels odd.

I ALWAYS buy the Ghost. This time, the shoelaces were so flimsy, and it made it so hard to pull them tight enough- I feel like there is too much room to move around. Laces feel like they are going to rip at any time, and they are SO long because of how hard you have to pull them. I also felt like the toe box felt bigger in these- more space to move around since the top is that thinner material. Definitely not structured. I love the design of them, and the color- but will wear them to walk around and wear casually- don't feel comfortable enough to do high intensity workouts in. They just don't fit like I'm used to my Ghosts fitting. Totally bummed.

The Ghost 15 was disappointing. It was too roomy in front and arch support was lacking. If I closed my eyes, I'd never guess it was Ghost. I want back the streamlined shoe that fits like a glove and has are support I can feel. The colors of the 15's are awesome!

Don't seem as cushiony as previous ghosts. I've only used them a couple times so far.

Ghost 14 has been good for my feet. I wear them to work all day every day because I have some foot issues. The stability and amount of cushion work. I ordered a pair of Ghost 15s because the colors were so fun! I will say the navy with the bright colorful sole is gorgeous! Alas, they're not for me. I have wide-ish feet, not that I order wides, but am usually happy if shoes run a little wide, but the Ghost 15s were too much. They are very soft, squishy and sloppy. My heel slipped around and overall they didn't feel as stable as the 14s or 13s I've worn. I am stocking up on some 14s and will sadly return these pretty shoes.

I am a Brooks fan. Have 6 pairs, three are different styles. This is my first pair of ghosts, and I am not impressed especially for the price. So far, my Trace's have been the best pair by far. The ghosts run small and that's saying a lot since I have narrow feet. They are not comfortable either. I won't run in them. I will wear them for st Patrick's day and put them away for next year.

I find them a little narrower than the Ghost 14. I just bought another pair yesterday But Cadence were/are my favorite. I need something with a more rounded toe

Please get rid of the black and white pictures of new shoes. At this point, I refuse to buy any that are in black-and-white pictures because I never get a true idea of what I'm buying

So far, not loving them as much as the Ghost 14. The 14s were a big transition for me from what I was wearing before but it was easy and comfortable right away--no soreness in adjusting. But moving to the 15s has had some of that. They feel different, the toes feel on the edge, and they seem very different. It seemed like it should have been a no-risk change, but it's been a bit surprising. Also, the colorway options when I get the wide size are very limiting and disappointing. My wife mocks my geriatric look.

just OK... not as much cushion as my other Ghost shoes.

I bought my first pair of Ghosts back in 2019. I have to buy 2E sized shoes. I'd give the Ghost a 5 star rating every time, but the variety of designs for 2E is so limited. I would have bought many more pairs if I could purchase some of the great designs Brooks puts out.

I love my ghost 14 very comfortable light wearing shoe. But it really is upsets me when you only make it in black and white I wear a size 11 men's 4E you don't make 4E but in black and white. Is there any chance you're going to get some colors in and the size width 4E

I have been a diehard Ghost runner for years, but was disappointed with my latest pair. I chose the "004-Ebony/Black/Oyster" camo colorway in large part because of the aesthetic pop of the graphic black & white laces that are pictured in the product shots. What I received looked nothing like the photosactual laces are these awful skimpy black/dark gray skinny laces (look like the laces pictured on the "152-Whisper White" colorway). Changes the whole look of the shoe for the worse. I considered returning them until I found better quality black & white laces from a random online retailer that replicated the aesthetic of what I should have gotten from Brooks. I'm annoyed that I had to spend additional money just to get the shoe that was promised in the photos.

They are good shoes. My right one seems, without a better way of describing it, defective. They are broken in now, a few weeks into having them, daily use for running, general gym use and even work in a 12 hour shift setting. The left one in all stages from rest to tired is great, the right on the other hand still feel like it slips, it feels as if the sole shifts, and upon adjusting the laces to an almost uncomfortable tightness it seems to slightly resolve the issue. Maybe if I had an additional pair to compare to, I have a firm suspicion that it's just the right shoe.

Decent shoe. Seems to lose its initial strong support and look after wearing it daily for three weeks. Now it looks like a pretty generic shoe and feels just average. Back to HOKAs for me.

These are comfortable, however I have to agree with other reviews-they feel roomier than normal. I have to wear extra thick socks, probably should have exchanged for a half size smaller. The ebony, oyster chamo does not look like the picture at all. The laces are a dark grey with black accents, not white/black. The other oyster accents shown in the online picture are black and the overall shoe is much darker than the bluish shade shown. That was a bit of a disappointment, especially after noticing the shoe does match the picture on the shoebox. Definitely not as sharp looking in person. So with the size difference and vastly different images, 3 stars.

I think the Ghost 14 are more comfortable and fit better. My new 15's have gotten little wear as I keep going back to the 14's.

Still great shoes but, they don't seem as cushy as previous models

Soles seem harder than I'd like, and toe room does not allow my toes to wiggle. They must wiggle.

After owning and loving 6 pairs of Ghost 14s with zero issues or complaints, I was nervous for a new version. Lone behold, the first pair of 15s have not been without issue. The inserts are absolute garbage. The left insert slides back every time I wear the shoe, leaving a ledge for my toes to hang off. I constantly have to take it out and readjust it. The heal part of the sole has formed into a ball shape which causes it to ride up the back of the shoe. The right insert appears to be fine...for now. I have 30+ years' experience wearing shoes, I am a professional. I wear these as my everyday shoe and went back to my old 14s for training/running.

Gang, I go way back to the G10 and have had many many pairs since which I love but could we please please add a few more colors to the 15. I'll five star, six star when that happens. Waiting.
